The Guardian article doesn’t dispute that the meat industry funds disinformation—it’s the *coordination* that’s in question. While some campaigns are funded by industry actors, there’s no clear evidence of direct, coordinated astroturfing efforts, just financial support for third-party groups.

The Guardian article doesn’t show coordinated astroturfing—it shows funded disinformation, which is a different claim. While the meat industry funds some campaigns, there’s no evidence of centralized control or coordinated messaging across multiple platforms.
